VDTelemetry

Your farm on a second screen

VDTelemetry exports Farming Simulator 25's live game state, and VDTerminal turns it into a dashboard in any browser - on this PC, or on the tablet or phone next to you. It works both ways: the dashboard also drives the machine and runs the farm.

VDTerminal on a tablet, in a combine: map, harvest screen and AutoDrive

In the cab and around the farm

The machine you drive

Lights, implements, cruise control, steering assist and AutoDrive at your fingertips, with dedicated screens for sprayers, spreaders, combines, balers, mixer wagons and front loaders.

The machine you drive

A map that knows your fields

Fields, vehicles and points of interest, with the game's ground layers - crops, growth, soil and Precision Farming's maps - as overlays.

A map that knows your fields

On foot, too

Out of the vehicle, the farm takes over: tasks, crop rotation and the map at a glance.

On foot, too

Your own layout

Split a page into tiles and put any widget where you want it - one layout for the tablet in the cab, another for the phone.

Your own layout

An instrument cluster from an old phone

Display mode turns a spare phone into a cluster: rpm, speed, cruise, gear and the warning lamps.

Get started

Install the mods

Put FS25_vdTelemetry and FS25_additionalInputs (1.2 or newer) into your mods folder and enable both.

Start VDTerminal

Download VDTerminal for Windows or Linux and start it on the PC the game runs on. Nothing to install - Java is included.

Open the dashboard

Open the address it shows in any browser: on this PC, or on a tablet or phone in the same network.

The setup guide walks through every step, with what to check when something does not show up.

Works with your mods

All optional. VDTelemetry picks each one up when it is installed and shows its data where it belongs.

Build your own

VDTerminal is just one way to use the data. The mod writes everything as plain JSON files to modSettings/FS25_vdTelemetry/telemetry/ and reads commands back from a simple XML file - so your own dashboard, stream overlay, button box or home cockpit can use them too.

The data format is documented in the mod's readme, with real example files for every channel.
